Hi All, newly registered to the forum but be aware of it for along time now. I know this has probably been posted before but there are thousands of threads and I just can't find the answer I'm looking for. so I apologise to you if this is a hindrance.

Hi,
Yesterday morning my partner smelled gas in the flat and called cadent, the gas man came and he was not able to pinpoint where or even if there was a leak inside the flat, he tested the pressure and detected a drop of 1.5 milibar on the 2 minute test so he capped the pipe and said i needed...
Hi,
Customer has a Main Multipoint Balanced Flue water heater.
Both the gas rate and burner pressure are under what the MIs state. MI state burner pressure is pre factory set at 14.1mbar and should not need adjusting and my checks showed burner pressure as 6mbar. Gas rate MI state 2.9 m3/hr...
Like I said I'm gas safe registered through the company I work for (day job) but want my own gas number so I can install and commission boilers for family, people that I know, etc.
Obviously I've got the qualifications or else I wouldn't be registered through work but I'm just curious, do I...

Only thing i could find amiss was on h3 (full load) co2 8.2, adjusted back to 8.8 andas it seemed to conk out on hot water i hope thats will...
Could someone work out total KW input for the following applying the diversity factor.
36 KW combi
24 KW combi
Cooker 12.9kw
It would appear according to gas Safe that my original assessment was wrong that they had exceeded badge capacity of a U6 as I didn't apply diversity factor.
Now the...
Hi guys, been quoted 1550 for direct replacement of baxi combi 105he with a baxi 830, I know the engineers.. So paying roughly 500 for Labour. What do you think? Plus this is with thermostat fitting etc. I thought about 1300/1400.
Can anyone tell me if the greenstar 24i circulating pump modulates? i have been looking at param 2.1c which references settings 0 to 4, i know the factory default setting is 4 (constant high pressure) which to me implies that it would not modulate on this setting, does it need to be setting 0 to...
Interesting discussion ongoing on Pistonheads Forum, Home and DIY section. There are some muppets here but also some very knowledgeable people who have gone through the regs with a fine toothcomb and assert that provided you are not doing it for profit/reward or for someone else, then...
Hi, I am new gas safe registered. I serviced a old worcester R28 HE Z7-28 system Boiler. found negative fan pressure -3.95mb lower than MI's -4.2mb, Gas rate is 2.82 m3/h, little bit lower than MI'S 2.9M3/H, so clean heat exchanger very well. after that check fan negative pressure, -3.11mb...
Hi,
Wanted to clarify something in regards gas cookers in rental properties. Have a landlord who wants to rent out his house to a family however the gas hob does not have an fsd on the burners. Hob was installed in 2002.
Would he require a cooker with fsd or is this only for hmo properties...
I visited a house that had been converted into two flats. Downstairs flat had a cellar where both ECVs were located for both consumers. The upstairs flat had a meter and a AECV.
My take on the regulation is that the primary ECV should be accessible to the consumer. So in this case the person...
This is a long shot-( this post was originally sent to StevethePlumber but I havent heard back from him as yet)
I have a glow worm ultimate ff boiler. Pilot light not lighting. There is power in the unit as it is glowing orange inside the box with the control knob.
Anyway, on the self...
We moved into our house in October and the boiler needs replacing. We got quotes but were informed by the gas engineers that we have a commercial gas meter and this needs to be changed in order for them to do the work and to get the boiler guarantee. We contacted our energy supplier who have...
I am new gas safe and met hard situation when I did gas safety check on large property with 3 acre site. The property is old and large size, installed two 30KW heat only gas boiler to supply CH and DHW, range cooker and gas hob. I was be told the meter is installed at the entrance of the...
Hi
Any advice on good gas leak detectors. Doesn’t need to be something mega expensive, but in the same sense something that isn’t cheap as chips and goes off when it smells a bit of jointing compound
Sick to death of trying to find leaks with fluid and it showing up nothing.
Thanks
Horizontal and vertical flues
Existing installations no clips on extensions definitely AR? Or defect? Bit of a grey area, also self tapper screws? Ar or defect? If flue has neither but is solid would you leave on?
Hi,
I have a newly installed boiler which has built-in frost protection, when the installer installed this boiler, they did not disconnect the old external frost stat which is still wired to the boiler.
I assume no newly installed boiler is still wired with old external frost stat, right? So I...
A LL cert costs around £50 in my area for 2 appliances.
I find that I am really struggling to complete it in an hour to make it worthwhile for me.
At the same time, I don't want to be cutting corners like those charging £30 and in and out in 15 min.
I just did one recently that took me 2 hours...
